Presque Isle Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
GUS'S GAL (5) ran below expectations last time at Keeneland (Dirt), finishing tenth and beaten 17 lengths starting at $6. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is set to turn things around. STARSHIP DISCOVERY (9) resumes from a spell of seven months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Set for a bold return. INTIMATE (8) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when ninth, beaten 16 lengths, over 1006m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf). Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. SHAUNNASAPRILFOOL (2) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Ready to go one better.
